If you need something specific, let me know and I'll do my best to provide the information. it's an iPhone 5 running iOS 10.something, though apparently this has been an issue for a very long time.
I don't know what specific information would be useful here. Can anyone help me out? I'd rather not start from scratch on a new device, but it's looking like the "easy" upgrade option is anything but. I have tried all the official options for recovering the backup or creating a new backup, and they all continue to force a password even when I explicitly did not select the option. Even assuming that I drunkenly did encrypt a backup, I followed Apple's instructions on how to reset the password by resetting all settings, and re-backing up the phone locally without selecting the encrypt option, and the backup is still inaccessible because of an apparent password. If you can't remember your password, you have two options: If you have an iCloud account, you can use iCloud to back up and restore. The thing is, I never clicked the box to encrypt the backup, and definitely never set a password if I did. Turn off backup encryption To turn off backup encryption, uncheck the 'Encrypt local backup' checkbox in the Finder or iTunes and enter the password. I'm trying to transfer my data to a new phone, and can't due to an "encrypted" backup.
